Advanced Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML
This 1998 book conveys the essence of object-oriented programming and software building through the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Composed of updated versions of James Odell's articles from The Journal of Object-Oriented Programming, ROAD, and Object Magazine, it provides concise but in-depth pieces on structural issues, dynamic issues, business rules, object complexity, object aggregation, design templates, and the process of objects.
- Author is co-chair of the Object Management Group's Object Analysis and Design Task Force
- Introduces the notions of multilevel meta-modeling, structural constraints, power types, and business rules to OO design and analysis
- A collection of his most important work from JOOP, ROAD, and Object Magazine, updated to reflect the implementation of UML
